I'm getting a little tired of that Windows 98 logo at startup. Can someone tell me where in the registry I can go to change the logo to something else or get rid of it altogether? I've searched the registry and I can't find it. Any help is appreciated.

Windows extracts the default logo from Io.sys
(Never modify)
Logo.sys resides in the boot drive's root directory and must be 320 x 400 and streched to 640 x 400
You can create your own bitmap using the utility LogoMania downloaded from www.pcmag.com

After you've created your .bmp file and renamed it to logo.sys and placed it in C:\ you now need to make it Hidden and System, then it will take the place of the old logo.
